The thrill of the hunt is a feeling that makes one feel like a world-beater once they finally take down the target they've been in hot pursuit of. Based on that sentiment alone, it's easy to see why so many people get an adrenaline rush from that hardcore hobby. Now if you'd rather partake in some big game hunting but would prefer doing it from the safety of your game room while holding a controller, we're here to help. The following lineup of the 16 best hunting games we've put together for you all covers genres such as action/adventure, first-person shooters, survival horror, and arcade light-gun experiences. The main thing they all do so well is showcase the excitement that comes from tailing an elusive or fearsome creature and finally taking it down with the aid of well-thought-out planning & proper usage of one's hunting tools. If you're a real-life hunter, you'll enjoy these titles just as much as those hardcore games out there!
